OneAmerica is desperate to dump illegal shit here. Because of what?

[TheDivsterman]

The Mexicans come illegally,have no money,education or skills and won't assimilate because they come from next door.Mexicans are using welfare more than any other and are not here to work.There wqould not be such and uproar from Mexicans if so many did not cross illegally or overstay their visas.As for Obama he is worthless to the USA as a president.He started a civil war

The infostructure of the United states can not sustain or afford the Illegal immigrants. I don't care how long people wait to come into this country as long as they do it legally and are not going to be strain on the system.

Using the logic of this moron Pramila Jayapal , that even people who apply legally are still waiting therefore enterring illegally is fine then why not just announce that the USA is open to anyone in the world that wants to come to the USA so long as they can save enough money to pay for the trip to the border. What insanity! How can people even listen to this garbage. All this woman cares about is helping her fellow "brown" people using whatever way she can ...

the law is the law and i think ignoring the law for your own gain is criminal thats what the Mexicans are doing there breaking a long standing law for there own gains and they knew if they flood this country we will have no other choice but amnesty trust me they know what there doing !

@bajarat You're right, they think they have a right to be here. They're actually demanding citizenship. And not just for the 11 million that jumped the fence, for the 5 million that applied, too. Why don't we just flatten some of our protected land and move in every third-world shithole on earth. We could pick up their whole fucking country, move it here and tack it on as a state. Then we'll find a relative of Betsy to sew a few extra stars on the flag. Or they can wave their own, like Mexicans.

[HemiHead66]

Yeah, you can't bring people in legally because this country can't handle the amount of people its got now. I believe they said we need to add like a 100,000 jobs a month just to keep up with the population growth that's here? And we need to add like 250,000 jobs a month to bring the unemployment rate down. Now how do you do this when our Govt. is passing laws that encourage outsourcing? This country hasn't added real jobs in years. You don't care about the people that are here, only yourselves.

[bajarat]

Jaypal is as full of crap as a Christmas goose. This wretch acts as if immigrating to the United States is a right, not a privilege. This nation is not obligated to let every third-grade dropout from every Third World nation on the planet in here to squat and filch. We Americans get to choose who we want in our country and who we don't. I'd say filling the nation with the dregs of crapholes like Mexico might not be beneficial to us as a nation. Just look at ditches like Los Angeles as proof.

OneAmerica...they help provide the lubricant for the rape of a nation.
